My Name is Chaac: Mi Nombre Es Chaac

By Linda Duchin

Chaac is one very lucky monkey; he was rescued from the pet trade when he was just a weak and tiny baby. His rescuers knew that—like everyone else—this baby needed love and care to survive, so they took him to the vet and nursed him back to health.  

This story is told by Chaac, from his point of view, and is written in both English and Spanish. Through Chaac we learn that by spending time with another species, by really getting to know them, we can see that we are all connected. All animals deserve our love and our protection, and in turn, they enrich our lives.  

In our story, Chaac is rescued by his human friends, but in many ways he rescues them, too. My Name is Chaac includes full color photos taken by the author, and is a great reading and learning tool for ages 5 and up.

Description in Spanish:

Chaac es un mono muy afortunado; fue rescatado del comercio de mascotas cuando era solo un bebé pequeñito y débil. Sus rescatistas sabían que—como todos los demás— este bebé necesitaba amor y cuidados para sobrevivir, por lo que lo llevaron al veterinario y lo cuidaron hasta que recuperó la salud.
 
Esta historia está contada por Chaac, desde su punto de vista, y está escrita tanto en inglés como en español. A través de Chaac aprendemos que al pasar tiempo con otras especies, al conocerlas realmente, podemos ver que todos estamos conectados. Todos los animales merecen nuestro amor y nuestra protección y, a su vez, enriquecen nuestras vidas.
 
En nuestra historia, Chaac es rescatado por sus amigos humanos, pero el también los rescata de muchas maneras. 'Mi Nombre es Chaac' incluye fotos a todo color tomadas por el autor y es una excelente herramienta de lectura y aprendizaje para niños de 5 años en adelante.
